The quickest flights to Bali take around 17 hours and cost from £800 for a return trip. Singapore Airlines is a great option, as they allow you to include a short stay in Singapore, which can be a delightful bonus, offering a chance to explore this vibrant city-state. Malaysia Airlines provides excellent connections via Kuala Lumpur, giving you another opportunity for a brief stopover in Malaysia’s bustling capital. Qatar Airways also frequently has good deals, and their services via Doha are renowned for comfort and quality.
When planning your trip to Indonesia, you might also consider flying into other major entry points such as Jakarta in Java or Medan in Sumatra. Jakarta, the capital city, serves as a central hub with numerous international flights and offers convenient connections to other parts of Indonesia. Medan, the largest city in Sumatra, is another viable option, especially if your itinerary includes exploring the lush rainforests and wildlife of Sumatra.
Your choice of arrival and departure points should depend on your itinerary and the specific islands you plan to visit during your trip. For instance, if you aim to explore the cultural and historical richness of Java, including visits to Yogyakarta’s temples and Bandung’s colonial architecture, starting your journey in Jakarta makes sense. On the other hand, if your adventure leans towards Sumatra’s natural wonders, such as trekking in the jungles of Bukit Lawang or exploring Lake Toba, then Medan would be a strategic starting point.
Additionally, many travelers prefer to mix and match destinations to maximise their experience. You could fly into Jakarta, spend a few days exploring Java, then take a domestic flight or ferry to Bali or Lombok for some beach relaxation. With nearly 70 major airports in Indonesia, internal flights are often the most efficient way to travel between islands.
Keep in mind that booking internal flights within Indonesia might be challenging if you don’t have an Indonesian credit card, but we can help navigate this hurdle.
